Rhodes Summer 2007: Mountain Attavyros

Rhodes island, named the Island of Sun too, is the largest of the Dodecanese and the fourth largest Greek island (after Crete, Euboea and Lesbos). The island is the favourite port when visiting the south east of Greece. The highest peak of the island is Mountain Attavyros (1215 m) situated in the middle of the west coast. Rhodos is fertile not only in the valleys but also on the higher slopes: pine, orange, olive, lemon, fig and pear trees thrive in these conditions. The villages are lush and colourful with hibiscus, jasmine and roses, which explain the many butterflies.
